Cross-species analysis of SHH medulloblastoma models reveals significant inhibitory effects of trametinib on tumor progression

Stephanie Borlase,

et al.

Abstract: Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastomas (MBs) exhibit an intermediate prognosis and extensive intertumoral heterogeneity. While SHH pathway antagonists are effective in post-pubertal patients, younger patients exhibit significant side effects, and tumors that harbor mutations in downstream SHH pathway genes will be drug resistant. Thus, novel targeted therapies are needed. Here, we performed preclinical testing of the potent MEK inhibitor (MEKi) trametinib on tumor properties across 2 human and 3 mouse SHH MB mo… Show more

“…Additionally, BET inhibitors can also successfully suppress SMO signaling via GLI inhibition [ 113 ]. Trametinib, a MEK inhibitor, has shown encouraging results in primary studies targeting resistant SHH medulloblastoma [ 114 ]. In a parallel fashion, CK2 upregulation, associated with poor prognosis in various malignancies, has been assessed, and CX-4945 was identified as the first orally bioavailable selective CK2 inhibitor to be translated into clinical trials [ 115 , 116 , 117 ].…”
